Yes, that's what I ment - the ATC put unnesesary pressure to the poor pilot.
By playing the "authority" too much, he forced the pilot into taking his
advice as one that is overriding, so the russian pilot flew into the other
aircraft - this is why I call the ATC murderer. If the russian pilot had
made a mistake, be it because of CRM issues or other, I could have said that
he is a fool - but he is not. That's sad!

I am not moved. From the above article you all can see that the media
already sets themselves to blure the facts and start inventing a story
where
the controller was not guilty from any wrongdoing. The recorded
conversations between the ATC and the aicraft involved in the accident
clearly show that the controller erroneously instructed the russian
pilot to
change altitude and that's exactly the cause for the accident. IT WAS
HIS
FAULT, HE IS A MURDERER.

He's not, ICAO DOC. 8168 Volume 1, Part VIII:

3.2 Use of ACAS indications
...
c) in the event of an RA, pilots shall:
1) respond immediately by following the RA as indicated, unless doing so
would jeopardize the safety of the aeroplane;
2) follow the RA even if there is a conflict between the RA and an air
traffic control (ATC) instruction to manoeuvre;
3) not manoeuvre in the opposite sense to an RA.

Now whoever carved him up - he is.
